Harrison Wallace III is a wide receiver and 2026 NFL Draft prospect who finished his collegiate career with the Ole Miss Rebels after spending four seasons with the Penn State Nittany Lions. A native of Pike Road, Alabama, Wallace committed to Penn State as a four-star recruit in the 2021 class and developed steadily over four seasons in Happy Valley. He caught 19 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown as a redshirt freshman in 2022, followed by 19 catches for 228 yards and a score in 2023, before his breakout junior season in 2024 when he started all 15 games and finished with 46 receptions for 720 yards and four touchdowns, making him the Nittany Lions' top receiving wide receiver and helping Penn State reach the College Football Playoff semifinals. He entered the transfer portal and committed to Ole Miss for his final season of eligibility, stepping immediately into a featured role in the Rebels' offense. In 2025 Wallace posted career highs across every major category, finishing with 61 receptions for 934 yards and four touchdowns while leading Ole Miss in receiving yards and appearing in the College Football Playoff, including a standout performance in the Sugar Bowl upset of Georgia that drew significant attention from NFL evaluators.
Standing 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, Wallace is known for crisp route running with sudden change of direction that generates consistent separation at the intermediate level, strong contested catch ability and reliable hands that helped him convert first downs at a high rate throughout his career, and the experience and durability to start 36 games across two Power Five programs in the Big Ten and SEC without missing time to significant injury. His combination of size and route precision gives him a profile that translates to multiple receiver roles at the next level, though NFL scouts project him as most effective from the slot where his quickness is maximized. He is projected as a Day 2 to early Day 3 pick with the receiving skills and college production to earn immediate target volume in a vertical and intermediate-route offense at the professional level.
